What, you ask, is the most vital American doom metal band right now? There's only one right answer : Salome.
This chick-fronted trio from Virginia will throw you down the well of endless sorrow and invade your mind with nameless dread. All this with just drums, voice, and a hella-detuned guitar. You heard it here : Salome is the future of American doom. Get their new LP "Terminal" right a@#$%ing way.
Just watch this live clip of their tune "Master Failure" to witness the crushing in action:
Go see them now. This time next year, tickets will be $50 and you'll have to pay two times that to some pockmarked scalper because the venue sold out in two days while you were hemming and hawing trying to decide whether to give up Chee-Tos for a month in order to afford it.
UPDATE : MOST HEINOUS NEWS : The amazingly brilliant drummer of Salome, Aaron Deal, has just informed me that the band is on indefinite hiatus because singer Kat Katz quit the band. AUUUUUUGH
hopefully, they'll continue on with a new singer, but there are no plans to do so at this time.
